Published tool inventories disagree.\n\n**Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk.** The video task API documents limits, error codes and per-model parameters in detail, with callbacks, a filterable task list and API keys restrictable by model and IP address. No status page, OpenAPI file or free video quota was found, the newest models need a USD 30 balance, and BytePlus model services are not sold in the United States.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Popcraft MCP\n\n1. Preview credit cost and obtain approval before submitting paid generation.\n2. Discover the current tool list instead of assuming the advertised count.\n3. Poll the existing job rather than resubmitting a generation after a timeout.\n\n### Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk\n\n1. POST to `/api/v3/contents/generations/tasks` on ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com, then poll GET `/contents/generations/tasks/{id}` or pass `callback_url`. Callbacks need an answer within 5 seconds\n2. Download the result at once. Video URLs last 24 hours, task records 7 days, and a Seedance 2.5 URL allows 100 downloads\n3. Pass `resolution`, `ratio` and `duration` in the request body. Parameters appended to the prompt as `--rs` or `--dur` are weakly validated and may be ignored\n4. On Seedance 2.5 set `omni_reference_task_type` to `edit` or `extend` so constraint errors arrive at submission. With `auto` they arrive after the task leaves the queue\n5. Do not send reference images or video with real human faces to Seedance 2.5 or 2.0. Only a queued task can be cancelled with DELETE\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Popcraft MCP or Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk?\n\nSeedance on BytePlus ModelArk scores 59.3 (C) on agent readiness against Popcraft MCP's 37.9 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Popcraft MCP leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Popcraft MCP and Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk need an API key?\n\nPopcraft MCP uses an OAuth sign-in. Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Popcraft MCP and Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk without installing anything?\n\nYes. Popcraft MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://popcraft.ai/api/mcp and Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk at https://ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com/api/v3.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/popcraft-mcp-vs-seedance-on-byteplus-modelark.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/popcraft-mcp-vs-seedance-on-byteplus-modelark.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"popcraft-mcp\", \"b\": \"seedance-on-byteplus-modelark\"}`.
